I receive an sms from my cellphone on the 28february2013. "congratulations!Your mobile number has won 150, 000 in the nokia global promo, ref no 0114. For claims contact mrs. Sonia owen on tel: [protected]. I phoned the number the lady named sonia answered by saying nokia contact centre. I askee for landline number for the contact centre, she gave me this number:[protected]. When I phone the number, the guy answered saying "nokia head office, how may we direct your cal". I quiry about sms I received then he asked for ref no, then further say I must phone sonia owen as shes the one who will activate my winning voucher. Soni further said to me in order for my cheque to be paid into bank or be couried to my address I must buy mtn airtime for r180, then phone her again to activate my winning. By the look of things I am not the only victim because she keeps asking my name and end up saying am I veronica. I am worried that people are been frauded by this sms scam.

hey, i am karim. i received the same message, but instead, i called the phone number, and a guy asked for my bank account number. i gave it to him, and then after 3 hours, the bank called to say that one million gbp was transferred to my bank account. so this is NOT A SCAM, CALL the NUMBER!
Gd Luck, If u need any help, please call: [protected].

Hello, I would like to add to this. I am also of Arab decent living in Lebanon. I received the same message except that the prize is 1, 000, 000 GBP. Also what is different with my message is that the email is: 40yrs@nokia-finland.org. Another think I noticed was that the number was from out of my country with a strange country code (+[protected]) with instructions not to call back but to send an email instead. I looked up the code 491 and it turned out to be from Ryazan region Russia. I tried to go to the URL www.nokia-finald.org and it does not work. Definitely a scam!

4 days ago. Hi, this is Wafa, from Beirut, Lebanon. I received sms from Nokia-finland.org stating that I have won 1, 000, 000GBP, and requesting my e-mail address. They even sent me a declaration of money transfer to Western Union of the whole amount. By the way after I receive the prize, I am invited with my immediate family to a whole paid expense TV show in Finland. Now they have changed their e-mail to 40yrs.@live.com. Well it is too easy to be true. Don't you think that Nokia should do something about this scam?

I had received the same message, which made me think why me? co I never had a Nokia. So I tried to look in the internet and found all this. This is ridiculous, How can poeple be so low? As I can guess from these comment you will send an email and they will ask you to give them your bank account number to put the money in your bank and all they do they hack your bank account, as happened recently with ny niece . They hacked 7000 from her. and left her with a loan with the bank. Please can't we do something so these people are caught and put behind bars?

Hi i also received the following text from Nokia: Thank you for being part of our 40th Anniversary of making Nokia Mobile telephones. Congratulations, we have received your claim information for the Nokia Finland Promo.

After you have received your prize of 600, 000 pounds, we will invite you and your immediate family on an all expense paid trip for a weekend to Finland for a TV show that will air this year on TV, showcasing winners of the Nokia 40th anniversary promotion. As a promotional gift, you will also receive a Nokia E61i mobile telephone. This promo is approved by the Finland Gaming Board and also licensed by the International Association of Gaming Regulators (IAGR).

Can someone tell me if this is true? Frida Malta
